If you stay, and you should, you can have your morning coffee delivered immediately after morning call. It will come precisely at the requested time, on the dot. This is Japan after all. Then, your breakfast can either come a bit later -and with more coffee - by room service, or you can go up to the restaurant.
Ritz-Carlton club level also does this well, coffee delivered at morning call with newspaper.
Btw, I am a fan of Illy, it's the brand I use at home. Consistently delicious. Julius Meinl is possibly even better though, as Vienna knows coffee very well too. I just haven't found a place to buy it locally.
Is the morning coffee with morning call complimentary or payable at room service rate? I stayed at the FS Marunouchi many many years ago. I think it's back in 2008. Have they renovated since?
